Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine felony counts of tax evasion, a surprising move without any deal for reduced sentencing, leading to speculation about a potential presidential pardon from his father. Hunter faces up to 17 years in prison for the tax case and an additional 25 years for his firearms case, with sentencing hearings scheduled for November 13 and December 16. The president's pardon power, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, is virtually unlimited, allowing Joe Biden to pardon his son if he chooses, despite Department of Justice guidelines that recommend pardons only after a period of good conduct post-conviction. Hunter's voluntary guilty plea, alongside his and his father’s claims of political persecution, suggests that a pardon could be forthcoming, especially since Joe Biden is no longer running for re-election and the political fallout would be minimal. https://thefederalist.com/2024/09/19/hunter-biden-pled-guilty-so-his-corrupt-dad-can-pardon-him-after-the-election/

A Wisconsin taxpayer-funded organization, WECA, sent "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Belonging Kits" to 300 daycares, sparking outrage. These kits included identity politics books for toddlers, multicultural play dough, and posters depicting non-traditional family structures. Some books encourage questioning gender identity and promote divisive views on race and relationships, with content that is highly inappropriate for young children. Daycare owner Elise Wiegert expressed deep concern over the materials, considering them harmful and unsuitable for toddlers. She noted they pushed racially charged and sexualized topics on children who are too young to understand. Individuals and organizations pushing this content on children are perverted and sick, intentionally exposing kids to sexualized and divisive material. The books not only promote leftist ideologies but also encourage confusion about gender and race, presenting extreme ideas that could be damaging to children’s development. Legal experts warn that taxpayer-funded entities like WECA may be violating anti-discrimination laws by promoting such content, and parents were reportedly shocked when shown the materials. WECA has not responded to the growing number of complaints. https://thefederalist.com/2024/09/19/tax-funded-group-sends-anti-white-pro-trans-board-books-to-wisconsin-daycares/

Arizona State Superintendent Tom Horne criticized the Osborn school district in Phoenix for focusing on race and gender politics, citing the presence of Black Lives Matter posters and other politically charged materials in classrooms. Horne argued that these distractions are negatively impacting academic performance, noting that Osborn has lower test scores compared to the demographically similar Avondale Elementary district. He believes the district should focus on academics and teach students to treat others as individuals, without emphasizing race or gender identity. While Horne doesn't have the authority to mandate changes, he encouraged parents and taxpayers to push for a greater focus on academics. He emphasized his support for civil rights but argued that identity politics in schools contradicts the philosophy of judging people by character rather than race or gender.

Jesse Watters raised questions about the background of Ryan Routh, the suspect in a recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, suggesting that Routh’s life circumstances don’t add up. Watters questioned how Routh, a man with financial troubles and a criminal history, was able to live in a pricey house in Hawaii, travel internationally, and sustain himself with minimal funds. Watters pointed out Routh’s media attention and hinted that someone else might have been financially supporting him, casting doubt on the true nature of his activities. https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1836923961575092479

ICAN's attorneys, led by Aaron Siri, achieved major legal victories against UC Davis and UCLA, forcing the entire University of California (UC) system to change its vaccination policy to allow religious exemptions for all 295,000+ students. The lawsuits, filed in early 2024, argued that UC violated the First Amendment by offering medical but not religious exemptions to its vaccine mandate. Both cases were settled after a court issued a temporary restraining order in favor of the students. As a result, the UC system updated its policy to include religious exemptions as of July 23, 2024. https://icandecide.org/press-release/breaking-news-university-of-california-allows-religious-exemptions-on-the-heels-of-two-successful-ican-backed-lawsuits/

The Secret Service is investigating a now-deleted tweet by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in which he questioned why no one was trying to assassinate President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. Musk made the remark in response to a tweet about attempts on Donald Trump's life. He later explained that people misunderstood his humor. The Secret Service confirmed awareness of Musk's post but declined further comment, stating that they investigate all threats to their protectees. The White House criticized Musk's remark as irresponsible, emphasizing that violence should never be joked about. https://www.newsbreak.com/news/3601926376752-secret-service-is-investigating-elon-musks-bidenkamala-assassination-tweet?s=dmg_local_email_bucket_14.web2_fromweb

America PAC (not to be confused for America Pack), a super PAC supporting Donald Trump’s re-election, has replaced the canvassing firm September Group, which was tasked with knocking on doors in Arizona and Nevada. The decision, just seven weeks before Election Day, was due to concerns that the firm wasn’t reaching voters quickly enough. With about 300 canvassers, they had knocked on 250,000 doors in Arizona and 150,000 in Nevada, but the PAC felt more voters needed to be contacted. Despite the changes, Arizona’s early voting begins on Oct. 9, and Nevada's on Oct. 19, leaving little time to adjust. The super PAC, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, has been integral to Trump's campaign, especially under new federal election rules that allow closer coordination with outside groups. Musk has been heavily involved, with plans to donate up to $180 million. https://archive.ph/7ft7p#selection-1061.0-1097.123

At a Casa Grande Union High School District board meeting, Superintendent Jeff Lavender turned off broadcast cameras after board members Stephen Hunt and Boots Hawks wore hats with the slogan “MEGA: Make Education Great Again,” resembling Trump’s “MAGA” hats. Lavender cited a law barring school resources from influencing elections. Hunt and Hawks refused to remove the hats, claiming they promoted education, not politics. Lavender noted concerns about the hats’ association with a conservative PAC. Candidate Carrie Jordan criticized the hat-wearing, arguing the board should follow the same rules as students. Despite criticism, Hunt and Hawks plan to continue wearing the hats. Board President Richard Wilkie said school leaders must set a good example by following policies. https://www.pinalcentral.com/casa_grande_dispatch/area_news/cguhsd-board-members-caps-spark-video-blackout-of-meeting/article_46b4005e-7045-11ef-8e40-7fea1ee19df9.html

Outgoing Republican Maricopa County Supervisor Jack Sellers endorsed Democrat Joel Navarro to succeed him, despite Navarro's opponent being Republican Mark Stewart. Sellers praised Navarro for his commitment to serving all constituents and his stance on election integrity. Navarro, a former firefighter and Tempe City Council member, welcomed the endorsement and emphasized his campaign's focus on democratic norms and public safety. With Sellers and other current supervisors stepping down or not seeking reelection, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will see significant changes. Other board races include incumbents Steve Gallardo and Thomas Galvin facing challengers, and newly contested seats in Districts 4 and 3. https://ktar.com/story/5605938/jack-sellers-endorses-democrat-maricopa/
